    Awesome place, with magical view over the ocean and many kangaroos. Also able to spot koala’s nearby thanks to the owners. Cottage had everything we needed, bed was very comfortable and hospitality was great.

    The road in was very rough but doable going very slow. It was worth it for the great stay.

    Loved the views and the wallabies. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beach down the road was lovely.

    Going back to Victoria!!! 🤬

    Both loved our 3 day stay at Waves & Wildlife cottages, peaceful, beautiful views surrounded by wallabies ( no people 😄 )😉👌. 1 minute drive down to Stokes Bay Beach which is superb ♥️. Just loved the tranquillity of the Island. 👏

    Not a big deal but the driveway coming in is a bit rough and could do with a scrape and a smoothing.

    We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very comfortable, well decorated, clean and in the most amazing location. On a cliff top overlooking a most excellent beach and the sea. In fact, in our opinion, we would say that this is the best beach on the island. Sad that we couldn't stay longer. As a bonus, this area is a hangout for over 40 friendly kangaroos and a small mob of sheep. So much fun to see.

    We’ve been traveling for many years and this has just become our #1 most memorable accommodation we’ve had. Paul and Katja are very kind and nice hosts, their two cute doggos are very sweet and the highlight is the Kangaroo “mob” that calls the surroundings their home and are always around. We loved watching them mornings and evenings in between the nature trips, they are very calming to watch grazing and hopping around. Paul and Katja even left a Kangaroo documentary DVD we could watch and learn even more about these fascinating animals. Paul enhances their diet with some barley from time to time and allows the guests to feed them. They are very gentle and curious creatures. What is more the views and sunsets are breathtaking and the location is perfect for exploring the natural wonders of the main part of the island. Take the road through Pardana which uses bitumen (kind of an asphalt). Be mindful that a lot of roads on KI are gravel roads or dirt tracks so if you are too precious about your car think twice.

    Incredible place, the wildlife and the scenery made this stay unforgettable. The cabins themselves were nice too, spacious and comfortable with everything you need - even a coffee machine! It was quite cold when we were staying but the heating in the cabins worked well and blankets and dressing gowns were provided which was a great touch.

    No restaurant or market around the vicinity.

    You get to see stunning view in front of the cottage with wallabies jumping around; very clean and spacious cottage with all kinds of kitchenware ready. The best part is the owner will feed the wallabies in the evening, guest are welcomed to feed them as well. We enjoyed the stay a lot.

    We had a wonderful time. The kangaroos were direct at our cottage. The view was awesome. The kids got food to feed the kangaroos and they could hold a snake or lizard. Thank you for this amazing adventure at Kangaroo Island.

    Communicating before and once booking was made and immediately prior was tricky. The booking.com internal messaging was not responsive and not property’s fault. Off line communication not effective either.

    Loved the facilities and ambience. Comfort was wonderful. Well looked after property.

    Nothing to dislike

    the location was stunning. the owners had pets around the property which made it even more memorable. the kangaroos around the cottages were a super cute highlight of the stay. The owner was kind enough to help us with extra firewood for the beautiful firepit on the property, when we ran out of the previously provided firewood. overall, a 10/10 stay.

    Not very much at all!

    The location on the clifftop is fantastic. Stokes Bay Beach is gorgeous. The wildlife is phenomenal. While more remote in the central north of the island, the extra kms are SO worth it!
